    When was the last time you wore a tie?

    Probably 4 or 5 times a year. Occasionally go to places that require business formal attire, then the odd funeral or wedding.

    Stinson Jr. "Spurned" Iowa State?!

    I feel like we can expect a little more out of journalism, no? At the very least they could leave the sensational language out of it and just stick to the facts and say something like "numerous recruiting services list ISU as offering Stinson a scholarship where his father played basketball". I...

    Stinson Jr. "Spurned" Iowa State?!

    Pretty sure thats not accurate. He did visit a number of times, but I don't think we ever offered. Even if we did then that offer was pulled because we haven't been recruiting him for quite a while. Edir: My bad, we did offer him in May of 2023. But he has not been on the radar for a long time.

    Stinson Jr. "Spurned" Iowa State?!

    I wondered if that's the case. The only thing about ISU in the meat of the article is that he had an offer from Iowa State, which is also obviously wrong, but maybe whoever writes the headline took that and embellished on it. Or hell, maybe it was AI. Still, pretty bad journalism overall.

    Stinson Jr. "Spurned" Iowa State?!

    I don't think we need to take shots at him. Doubt he had anything to do with. Just really bad reporting by someone.

    Stinson Jr. "Spurned" Iowa State?!

    I initially linked the wrong article. Should be fixed now.

    Stinson Jr. "Spurned" Iowa State?!

    WTF is this headline? Somebody named Dana Becker from Ft. Dodge wrote the article. Not sure if that's his doing, but if so is he clueless/hawkeye? https://www.si.com/college/iowa-state/basketball/son-of-iowa-state-legend-makes-his-college-choice-official-spurning-cyclones-01jrbjj83sy4

    CBS Way too Early Top 25 and 1

    I mean, I still think our ranking was legitimate this year when we were at full health, which was a top 5 team. We just had a lot of injuries and we're never at full health after Lipsey broke his finger. I don't think we'll be quite that good next year, but who knows. I think with those 3 we are...

    CBS Way too Early Top 25 and 1

    With Lipsey, Milan, and Jefferson back there is no reason we can't be really good, and of course TJ is an excellent coach. We just need to hit on at least one freshman, and hopefully 2 or 3 can contribute.

    Adam Schefter on Brock Purdy's contract status (and a Tyrese Haliburton mention)

    You're right. I don't know if his agent could try to get another team to approach the 49ers with a trade, but that's about the only way Purdy could try to get out of San Fran.

    Return of the dire wolf

    This kind of gets into more of a philosophical argument. Like I mentioned earlier, it will be interesting to see when one of the wolves passes how closely things like skeletal structure are to the remains of actual Dire Wolves. I mean, if you do a good enough job and can alter the DNA of its...

    Return of the dire wolf

    This reminds me of a Lewis Black rant on the Daily Show back when he would do the Back In Black segment. There was a story about scientists who had neurally linked a robot arm to a monkey and the monkey could control the arm to feed itself. Black looks in the camera and screams "We can defeat...

    Jefferson NOT gone.

    So it's 50/50.

    Return of the dire wolf

    I'm guessing their work has implications in biotech well beyond genetically recreating extinct species. They are probably developing new tools and procedures that they can either spin off into other businesses or sell to others in the biotech field.

    Return of the dire wolf

    I think they'll really be able to tell after one of these dies and they can do some forensics on the remains and see how closely it actually matches native Dire Wolf remains. At the end of the day there probably isn't a lot of difference between Dire Wolves and other native species of wolves...

    Return of the dire wolf

    They should have named the female Nymeria too.

    Return of the dire wolf

    Seriously, how did they not name one of these Ghost. They named one Khaleesi so they are obviously aware of Game of Thrones. We're not Roman. Nobody cares about the story of Romulus and Remus.

    Pretty sure they can't. They can only overturn a goaltending call.

    I feel robbed with that ending. At least get a ******* shot up.

    Jefferson staying CONFIRMED

    It was looking great until you decided to put a jinx on the whole damn thing.
